Jessica Biel Reveals the 'Secret to Being a Perfect Mom' & It's Exactly What We Needed to Hear
In case you were wondering how to be perfect at this whole parenting thing, Jessica Biel has it all figured out. The Candy star, who shares sons Silas, 8, and Phineas, 3, with husband Justin Timberlake, revealed the “secret to being a perfect mom” in a new TikTok, and it’s the message we all needed today.
The Secret Is…
“Get ready with me while I tell you the secret to being a perfect mom,” Biel says in the video. She starts by spreading foundation on her face and blending it with a brush. Next, she applies concealer under her eyes — still not saying a word — and fills in her eyebrows. She puts a little lip and cheek color on, then moves on to her eyes, swiping eyeshadow on her lids and curling her lashes. Biel adds a little mascara, then lets her hair down. Once she’s ready, she smiles and winks at the camera before the video abruptly cuts off. She never said a word — because there is no secret to being a perfect mom!
“Groundbreaking, I know,” she captioned the relatable post. It turns out, even celebrities don’t have it all figured out, which is honestly such a relief.
“Hands. Down. The. Best. Advice. Ever. ???????? ????????” one person wrote. The 7th Heaven alum responded, “Gotchu.”
“i needed that????????,” someone else wrote. Not being afraid to admit you don’t have it all figured out is the energy we need in 2024!
Parenting Nerves
Biel has been open about her struggles with parenting before. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in June 2023, she admitted that she’s “devastatingly nervous” about her kids going through puberty one day.
“God, I mean it’s terrifying,” she continued. “What’s going to happen to these kids? What they have to go through with puberty, it’s hard being a kid. I tell my eight-year-old that all the time. I’m like, ‘Dude, it’s hard being eight. I get it.’”
“And then I’m gonna help him see that it’s hard being 41,” she added. “He’s just looking at me like, ‘What? You don’t matter.’” Ah, motherhood is great, isn’t it? Don’t worry, kids will appreciate us one day (I hope!).
Self-Care
The Cruel Summer executive producer told SheKnows in August that she’s still trying to find that balance between motherhood and life. “I find it endlessly challenging to find the balance between being a mom, having a career, and finding time for myself and my husband,” she relatably said. “I so often put myself at the bottom of my own list, and it never ever serves me.”
“I am a better all-around human in the world when I have prioritized my personal needs even for just a few minutes a day,” Biel continued.
And if doing her makeup and making hilarious parenting content is how she prioritizes herself, we are so here for it!
